To: Mayor Parris and City Council Members
From: Larissa De La Cruz, Assistant City Manager
Sydney Yeseta, Manager - Economic Development
Subject: Agreement with Antelope Valley Soccer, LLC Regarding Use of City Owned Parcels for Parking
Recommendation:
Authorize the City Manager or his designee, with the concurrence of the City Attorney, to negotiate, finalize and execute an agreement for a term not to exceed three years with Antelope Valley Soccer, LLC regarding the use of City owned parcels around the Lancaster Municipal Stadium for parking.
G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:
The City will receive a portion of the revenue generated from use of the parcels for parking during events.
Background:
Historically, events held at Lancaster Municipal Stadium have drawn crowds that exceed the venue’s available parking. With no street parking nearby, attendees often park in surrounding areas, including private business lots and undeveloped parcels near the stadium.
The City owns approximately 27 acres of undeveloped land around the stadium, currently under a Disposition and Development Agreement with Verdant Lancaster, LLC, slated for future commercial and residential development.
Until construction begins, the City is looking to partner with Antelope Valley Soccer, LLC to allow parking on city owned lots near the stadium. Since these lots have been informally used for parking in the past, this agreement would provide a structured approach that will generate revenue while ensuring there is appropriate and adequate insurance coverage.
Antelope Valley Soccer, LLC has invested in improving the vacant land to make it more suitable 2 0

for parking and will provide staff during events. A portion of the revenue generated will be split between the City and Antelope Valley Soccer, LLC.
